The Dallas Cowboys have started their offseason by bringing back their leading rusher.
Running back Javonte Williams agreed to terms with the Cowboys on a three-year, $24 million contract, the team announced Saturday.
Williams, 25, signed a one-year, $3 million deal with Dallas last offseason after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos.
Williams earned his deal after rushing for a career-best 1,201 rushing yards -- ninth-best in the league -- and a career-best 11 touchdowns in 16 games. In Williams' previous two seasons combined, he finished with 1,287 rushing yards and seven rushing scores in 33 games.
The Cowboys finished with the No. 9 rushing offense in the league thanks to Williams with 125.6 yards per game at 4.6 yards per carry.
In 70 career games (45 starts) Williams has 3,595 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns along with 1,103 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns.
With Williams under contract, the Cowboys can now shift their focus to locking down star wide receiver George Pickens, who's an impending free agent.
